Hi there-
I've been experiencing an increase in discomfort due to spasticity recently. I refer to it as discomfort, as it is nothing to what I used to experience with sports injuries and sporting wear and tear in the good old days, but it is constant and tiresome. I have tried to mitigate it with Robax/methocarbamol+ibuprophen, which seems to work for short periods of time.
I am reluctant to start taking more Tizanidine (because I pass out when I take even 2mg) or Baclofen (which increases my spasticity for some reason). Is anyone taking a prescription level of Methocarbamol for discomfort? Or, any other method of pain relief other than the usual Aspirin/Tylenol/Ibuprophen? None of these are up to the job, but I am reluctant to use opiates due to the addiction factor and the thoughts that I may need to use them later down the road.
Thanks in advance for any input-
Fiona
